The kindness of the home owner. She was very hospitable and also a great cook. The language barrier is not a problem at all since her daughter will help with anything you need through WhatsApp. Highly recommend staying here when you visit Toraja.

We've stayed in so many homestays and hostel in Ranterpao and this is the best one. The owner is very friendly and helpful. The room is very clean, large and comfortable. Clean bathroom with very hot shower (very rare in Rantepao). Nice kitchen with free banana and water. The location is perfect. Can't recommend this place enough.

Situated in Rantepao in the South Sulawesi region, Purabarang Homestay features accommodation with free private parking, as well as access to a hot tub. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. Guests can make use of a terrace.

We had such a nice stay at Purabarang, the owners are so lovely and make an effort to make you feel welcomed even when we turned up at 4am. The house is in a beaten location backing onto rice fields and we had a gorgeous view from our room. On top of all this it was so cheap and the breakfast was delicious cooked by paulus’ wife. Paulus is also a tour guide and took us to see one of the traditional funeral which was an amazing experience. We definitely recommend staying here especially if you want to learn more about the ancient traditions of people in Tana Toraja.

    This is the best homestay ever! Yansen and his family already started taking care of us before we even got there. Everybody was super nice and giving good tips (funeral ceremonies, further transport, where to buy postcards;)…). They also provide laundry service and very very good food! We came as strangers and it felt like we left as a part of the family!

    Outstanding Homestay! Wonderful, warm-hearted hosts, the place is super cozy and lovely decorated and it's situated in an actual traditional Toraja village. The food is delicious, we felt very welcome. Booked a 2-day guided tour through the homestay and had a great experience! Thanks a lot!

    Sarah is such a lovely host. She made my stay as comfortable as possible. She organizied guides, driver and bus tickets. For breakfast she baked bread and cake herself. I would definitely recommend to stay in Sulawesi Castle.

    Everything! The homestay, the food, the location, the cozy atmosphere - everything was great. Meyske was away during my stay, but she checked in on me everyday and helped me organise my entire visit (2 funerals!) and her mom made me feel at home. Highly recommended!

    I would highly recommend this Homestay. One of the best experiences I have ever had. Meyske and her mum looked after me and all the guests of the homestay as part of a family which sometimes sounds cliché but not in this case She managed to organise a tour for us to attend a funeral , whiteout her help it would be impossible to do by myself. The food made by her mum was incredible , actually I was looking forward to trying new dishes every evening 10/10 for them

    We had a delightful stay at Nuansa Homestay, immersing ourselves in its rural charm and authentic accommodation. The host family was not only friendly but truly lovely and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. The traditional Tongkonan house was exceptionally clean, and surprisingly, no mosquitoes bothered us. One highlight was the fantastic guide (Mr. Natan) they provided, enhancing our experience.

    Meske and her family are the best host family you could ever wish for! Your stay will be a true experience with the locals, their food and habits. Meske goes the extra mile; she will spend evenings with you to help you plan your programme and suggest the best guides and drivers. This is not a simple stay - you should know you will leave your heart in Toraja ;)

    I loved that this was Meskyes private home. I enjoyed spending time in an authentic home stay. I felt so welcome. Because I respected that this is a private home and not a hotel, we let Meskye know when we were out at night and our approximate time back out of respect. As much as there are guests, it is still important to remember this is someones home. Nothing was an issue and Meskye and her mum made stunning local meals. Meskye also shared alot of local knowledge. It was so tranquil and I wish I had booked longer
